Wallabies 2021

[Tomikin]

I don’t mind them either, although we did lack penetration and the French centres definitely had a lot more impact in the first two games than ours did. But I think they will improve with time as will Lolesio. As will, hopefully, our kicking game, our breakdown effectiveness, our support play and all the little bits and pieces which make a difference at that level.

I do think an observation that our centres impact is bigger then the standard of our third string props is a fair assessment.

To be fair they our centres only really played the 3rd test together so can't really fault them there. I think they should be looked at as the starters for NZ

Its also really about getting probably Pone some experience or who ever is 3rd in line.. Hopefully next few years he pressures AAA and Tupou..

We should just make him a 30min impact player. He's never going to get ahead of Tupou & Eloff is at the rebels. Could get an extra few yrs out of his career as well.

Is that what we employ a coach for? General improvement over all of those areas ought to see Rennie appointed for life.

???? Am I missing something in your post? You don’t expect Rennie & the coaching group to be working for improvement in those areas?

 

[Brumby Runner]

More a comment TSR on the lack of improvement in any of those areas under previous coach(es).

 

[Steak n Weights]

This is beyond 2021 but some interesting developments about to happen in the Australian coaching world.

And about how long do the rest of us need to wait until we find out what you're talking about?

[Derpus]

Im gunna roll the dice and say something to do with Dan McKellar? Maybe he's leaving the Brumbies.

I'm guessing the person involved isn't currently involved with coaching the Wallabies.

Minutes.

Derpus wins the prize!

McKellar to be full time Wallabies forwards coach.

Stick him at 13 and cut him out if you want to go wide. That could be one heck of a backline. Koreibete and Vunivalu will be right on his coat tails.

10. JOC (James O'Connor)
11. Koreibete
12. Paisami
13. Kerevi
14. Vunivalu
15. Petaia

I think Petaia needs to be able to just play without all his off loading stuff....too much too soon for the obviously talented youngster.....Would have to play well at Super level at 15 before getting a Wallaby gig at fullback.....Banks is solid without being outstanding....Fullback is probably our weakest link in the back line.

Well looks like we need a new 8 and 11 for this weekend.

Isi, Koribete and Pone all out for this weekend for drinking past curfew.

 

[Derpus]

Hah. What shadow of a chance we mighta had is surely gone.

 

[RugbyReg]

because of one player? He's been terrific, but he wasn't going to make and break things. Does leave us short out wide. But again, perhaps it forces us to play narrower again.

This is a shit decision by Rennie. It could have been handled in a million different ways without impacting other players and the outcome on the weekend. We’re not NZ with good depth, we are a building AUS team that needs results for the better of Australian rugby.

The report in the SMH said they drank "Well after curfew" I think he did what he had to do. They lost the right to wear Gold IMHO.
